The Eagles are hoping that Baker follows in the same footsteps of his father, former NBA All-Star Vin Baker, who was one of the most well-known late bloomers New England has seen, sprouting up to 6-foot-11 and going from the University of Hartford on to NBA stardom.

Vin Baker Jr. made a brief commitment to Bryant little less than a year ago before the Bulldogs decided to move in another direction. Since then, he transferred to Hamden Hall and reclassified to 2018, and reportedly grown another two inches to just under 6-foot-9.
